Thinking of Taking the SAT or ACT Test This Spring?

If your child is a junior in high school, you should definitely consider taking the test for the first time this spring. The next SAT test is on
March 10th, and the next ACT test is on
April 14th. It's always a good idea to take the test multiple times, with gaps between testing dates so you have time to get the scores back and review the score report.

A big piece of performing well on the SAT and ACT tests is becoming
familiar with the format. No matter how well you perform in school, taking a timed test in such a foreign format takes some getting used to. Testing this spring enables you to
retest in May or June, and then again in the fall if necessary. Because many students take
AP or SAT II Subject tests as well, it's important to plan far enough in advance so that you can optimize your scores and have time to learn from your mistakes.

Now that the spring semester is underway, your child should have a sense of the difficulty of each class and how well they're keeping up.

* Is your child finding it challenging to keep up with assignments and manage their time, projects, and school work?

* Does your child lose materials, miss assignments, or have difficulty keeping track of large projects?

It's just as important to have strong study skills and organization as it is to understand the academic subject matter. It is impossible to achieve good grades if your child is always anxious about keeping up and staying on top of things.

We have tutors available to assist your child with all aspects of study skills and organization. If your child is diagnosed with Executive Functioning Delays, we also have Special Education Certified tutors.

We focus on content, time-management, and test-taking strategies to maximize your child's score. All tutoring is customized to meet your student's specific needs, and we

also have tutors who are experienced in working with

students with Special Needs.

Updated Proprietary Materials!

We have thoroughly researched all changes to ISEE/SSAT content and have developed proprietary materials to maximize instruction. Tutors have been fully trained using these specialized materials and methods. An exclusive benefit of working with Boston Tutoring Services is that students will be prepared with the most
up-to-date and effective strategies.

Many families contact us from outside the Boston area looking for top-notch tutors, so now you can choose the best tutor fit for your child regardless of location! Online tutoring can be a great opportunity for your child to receive the same tutoring services anywhere in the world, any time of day.

Boston Tutoring Services offers downloadable teaching resources and proprietary materials for shared use. Tutors share resources and materials prior to tutoring sessions so students can access these and work on them during sessions. Additionally,

We prepare middle school students for high school admission, including application essays and interview coaching. We support juniors in high school through the early stages of the college admission process, including creating school lists and timelines. We help seniors finalize application essays and prepare for interviews.
